I have Hashimotos thyroiditis and would like to take Vital Greens, however is it safe for people with thyroid disease to consume?
Edwina May, Sydney, Australia
I am sucessfully managing my Hashimoto’s. I stick to normal meals which include broccoli in at least one. I avoid sugar and wheat as wheat destroys the gland altogether. I buy TPCS, Iosol Formula II, ...

Hi my dad has just finished his chemotherapy and radiation for lung cancer. I was wanting to use this to help build his immune system. My father is currently taking blood thinners (iscover & betaloc) will vital greens be good for him? Would this be okay being on blood thinners.
Thanks in advance
Tina
Hey Tina, I'm not sure about that. I think the best thing to do would be to go into a Heath food store that sells vital greens and ask them as they would know. Or even better try contact the makers of the product.
All the best with your dad

Hi,
Is your product VItal Greens organic?
Hi Nicolette
I can't see organic written on the container but it doesn't really matter I guess if I am getting such great results.
Vital Greens is not certified organic although most ingredients are organic. Thanks, Kate
Hi Kate, most ingredients are organic. But are there any fillers? Tks Nicolette
Is it ok to mix Vital Greens powder into grapefruit or pineapple juice?
Not with grapefruit juice as it is acidic. Am not certain about pineapple juice. Apple juice is recommended as per information on packaging.
How does this compare to Elle Mcphersons? "The Super Elixer". Ive been buying the Elixer and it is way to expensive….
This seems like it would be a better alternative.
Thanks
Dear Jules,
Well basically Vital Greens is a much more comprehensive formula, many more ingredients and covers a lot more areas of support! ...

It also has xylitol which can tend to give some people the runs! Also Vital looks to be much better value for money. I hope this helps! Kelly
Is this okay for post cancer surgery recovery? I was using garden greens but a friend said this would be better.
Thanks RO
Hi Ruth,
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I would say it would be good though considering the amount of good stuff it's got in it :)
I have used it today in a smoothie..it was a bit sweet... but nice. Thanks
I have been using vital greens for about 2 years and think its great im a bit of a sweet tooth so like the sweetness, it says it goes well with the vital protein, so i mix the two together, do you agree with that and how many times a day is twice to much? thanks roxanne...
Hi Roxanne,
Thanks so much for your recent enquiry and we appreciate you taking the time to write to us. ...
Read more There is no reason why you cant mix the 2 together, they are a very complimentary product. Please note that Vital Greens does already have protein in the formula, however if you are looking for additional protein for muscle recovery or energy - there is no issue with adding Vital protein to Vital Greens. When you are doubling your dose, we recommend starting at a lower dose, and then increasing over time. So Week 1 start with 1 teaspoon for the full week, then week 2, put in 2 teaspoons. Week 3, Drink 1, put in 2 teaspoons, and drink 2, 1 teaspoon, then week 4, drink 1 put in 2 teaspoons and drink 2 put in 2 teaspoons. Does that make sense? This will give your body time to adjust and get used to all the different ingredients. I hope this answers your questions, however if you still require additional information please feel free to email me at: [email protected]. Thanks and regards, Kelly-Anne Evans, Brand Manager - VITAL

if you have diabetes 2 can you take vital greens?

Mary I'm afraid I can't answer this question. I suggest you copy the ingredients list & print it out & take it along to discuss it with your Doctor.

Hi,
I'm not sure as I only started taking it recently. The ones I've bought taste the same, although I have read other reviews that the taste and sweetness has changed. Sorry, probably didn't help you much.
Hi :-) I've been doing some research and looking at getting some vital greens into my regime. I'm a vegan and was taking some vegan multivitamins but that started some bad IBS :-/ is vital greens a complete myltivitamin? Also, has anyone experienced a flare up in IBS after taking? I don't want to but a tub and then it go to waste because it's started ibs again. Many thanks, Simon
I have mild IBS and this product gives me an excruciating pain in my guts!
I think you'll be ok without taking any other multivitamins if you take Vital Greens. I have very sensitive tummy (I haven't been diagnosed with IBS but I suspect I might have a mild case of it) and I haven't had any problems with it so far.

Please can anyone tell me if batch 418447 is the sweeter version, the pre sweeter one or the new formula?
Cheers
Dear Sue, It is the reduced sweetener blend.
Thanks and regards, Vital Greens
Hi there we have just bought Vital greens for the first time and after reading the comments above am wondering if the one we have bought is based on the sweeter formula or if it in fact is the new adjusted less sweet formula. The batch number is 419914 with expiry date of 09/12/2016. Look forward to your reply in due course.
Kind regards Jodie
My apologies for the delay in coming back to you Jodi, it took me a while to locate the batch number and then work back,
The batch that you have quoted is our most recent, less sweet product. ...

Can anyone recommend an alternative product that doesn't have all the sweetener crap in it? Definitely not healthy anymore!!
Dear Disapointed,
I have previously responded to your enquiry on your first post.
Kind regards,
Kelly Evans
Now that the sweetener has been reduced how do I know which batch I am buying?
Really? When did they reduce the sweetener? My problem is that the new batches are all much much sweeter. Sickly sweet in fact.
The sweetner was increased but the company said in one of the posts dated December 2014 that they have now reduced it. So my question is how do I know what batch one is buying?
Hi Sandra!
This revised formula is now making its way into the trade :) ...
